Teachers in many school situations don't even have control of what software is on the machines their students use. They need to request an installation from tech support. Or if they do have control, they don't have time to install multiple packages on 20-30 workstations. So having a minimally usable turtle implementation included in the standard library would be helpful to them. It's my understanding that this is why turtle.py is there in the first place. The problem is that its usability is *too* minimal. > Why isn't the cheeseshop - http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi - the > appropriate place for results of your undertaking, as it is foe the results > of every other Python application developer. > Or is the substance of your response simply that I am in discussion with the > Phone Company, have been put on hold, and am wasting my time in attempting > to have a discussion on the merits. I was asked submit the enhacements by Raymond Hettinger. I foolishly thought it might be good to ask for input on the nature of the improvements before doing so. If you want to have an argument about whethe turtle.py should be in the standard library at all, I would suggest you file a PEP or discuss it with the BDFL. It's far beyond me. > Are you an appointed or self-appointed redactor of all that is Turtle in the > world of Python? Why, yes, I am actually... didn't you get the memo on that?
